Southampton manager Hasenhuttl Confesses: Guardiola simply the best

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl admits there isn’t a better coach out there than Pep Guardiola.

Saints were thrashed 5-2 by Guardiola’s Manchester City at the Etihad on Wednesday.

Speaking after the game to Sky Sports, Hasenhuttl said: “I think we played quite well I must say even though we conceded five goals. We made it a bit too easy. We were very brave with the ball at times. It’s the final quality that is missing.

“This game I enjoyed more than if we had sit back for 90 minutes. This is our way and this is what I like to see. When you are committed and active you win a lot of balls against this team. Although we didn’t get points we’re not so disappointed.

“I’m a big fan of Pep Guardiola’s football. There isn’t a better coach out there. We have made a big development with our side within our limits.”
